Answer:

The correct answer is- Histone

Explanation:

DNA is approximately 2.2 m long thread which has to be adjusted in a microscopic nucleus so DNA must be in a supercoiled form to be present in the nucleus and this supercoiling of DNA is done on histone protein.

Histone protein is a positively charged protein that is made up of eight proteins so it is called histone octamer. Each histone has 2 copies of each protein that is H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.

DNA is negatively charged and histone protein is positively charged therefore DNA wraps around histone protein which causes the packaging of DNA. So the correct answer is histone protein.

What is the term for the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Fermentation

Explanation:

In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called fermentation. Fermentation doesn't break the sugar down any further, it simply helps reset the system so that more sugar can be broken down.

Because aerobic respiration breaks the sugar all the way down, it releases much more energy than fermentation.

Hope this helps :)
